Last vacation, my classmates and I went camping to Mega Mendung Bogor. We left from our school early
on Saturday morning. We arrived at the camping ground late in the afternoon. We built the tents next to a
small river. The view was so beautiful there. The air was so fresh. When it was getting darker and colder,
we built a fire camp to make us warm.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals.
They cooked noodles and boiled eggs. In the afternoon we went to the river and tried to catch fresh fish
for dinner. Unfortunately, we only got a little fish so finally we also cooked the tin food. We ate a lot
because weather is very cold. At night, we held a fire camp party. We sang, danced, read poetry, played
magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing up comedy.
On Sunday morning, we packed up our things and left the camping ground. We got home in the
afternoon.
We were very tired but we were really happy. It was really an amazing experience.
